After posting a TikTok update regarding his previously announced Squid Game YouTube video, MrBeast almost immediately received backlash over the $3.5 million production. Fans of the Korean thriller ridiculed the online creator, commenting that Squid Game\u2019s challenges are \u201cjust children\u2019s games\u201d and his rendition of the set \u201cdoesn\u2019t even look good.\u201d Others argued that, instead of spending millions of dollars recreating the hit Netflix show, he should use that money to give back to the community or donate to charities. On November 18, PewDiePie reacted to attempts to cancel MrBeast by claiming that he believes people on social media misunderstand a lot of things. PewDiePie slams \u201cslimy\u201d attempts to cancel MrBeast After being asked by a viewer if he had heard about the attempted cancellation of MrBeast, Felix quickly turned his attention to learning about the situation. \u201cThere\u2019s no way he\u2019s getting cancelled,\u201d he said. After loading up an article about the kerfuffle, Felix remembered what was going on as he explained: \u201cOh yeah, people are saying that he should do other things with the money instead of this. Except he does. This is why people shouldn\u2019t have opinions.\u201d He added: \u201cPeople will pick whatever surface level opinion that they can make to form any form of argument. People purposely misunderstand and skew things to make someone else look bad. It\u2019s so slimy.\u201d Many defending MrBeast have referenced his hugely philanthropic nature; the YouTuber notably created his very own charity, \u201cBeast Philanthropy,\u201d an organization the YouTuber created to help provide food to those in need. This past October, the creator also helped form #TeamSeas, another charity with a goal to clean 30 million pounds of trash out of the world\u2019s oceans. MrBeast has yet to comment on the situation, but he released a tweet on November 17 explaining that his Squid game recreation is still in the editing stage and will soon be uploaded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PewDiePie slams \u201cslimy\u201d attempts to cancel MrBeast over Squid Game recreation YouTube: PewDiePie,MrBeast\/Squid GameYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg heard about attempts to cancel internet star Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson over his upcoming Squid Game recreation \u2014 and it\u2019s safe to say that Pewds wasn\u2019t a fan of the criticism.
